Bamboo skewers inserted with Titebond Trim & Molding glue works great.

I've told them repeatedly that if they need to move the piano around the room they must not push on the lid (I even left a note to the lid warning against it), and of course they have ignored this advice. In the past I tried replacing them with slightly longer screws but those have fallen out too. Obviously I need to fill the holes with something, I guess using a syringe, but what? Epoxy? Wood filler? Thick CA? Thanks, Paul Mulik Sent from my U.S. Cellular BlackBerry® smartphone -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
